- Title
Duration of the Lateral Paragenetic Reef–Evaporite System Formation.

Baikov, A.A.
- Abstract
Duration of the functioning of elements of the lateral paragenetic reef-evaporite systems in Cambrian and Late Jurassic has been calculated. Discrepancy between total durations of the vertical growth of barrier reefs and evaporite formation varies by a factor of 3-50. Neither barrier reefs were growing up nor salt was deposited in halogenic basins for enormous time spans. Specific features of the reef-evaporite system should be taken into account in the estimation of ore potential (in particular, presence of sulfides of Pb, Zn, and other metals) in barrier-reef massifs.
